aunt, saying "Burn that, it is poison."
Before the attack she sometimes said that it got dark over
her eyes and that her face felt funny, again that she had a
pain in the stomach which worked towards her right
shoulder. There was no cry in the beginning of the attack,
but once she wet herself.

After recovery the patient herself told the development of
her psychosis thus:

There was trouble between the father and the husband, and
she was afraid of her father. On the day of the christening
she took sick: a queer feeling came over her and she
wondered whether she was going to die, "Then I seemed to
lose myself, and when I came to I found my family standing
around me." Her father gave her whiskey and she thought it
was poison. "That night I had spells of dancing and
singing, it must have been something I took, perhaps the

father might do some harm, and had a vision of a person in
white standing at her bed. After that she had repeated
spells in which she knew nothing until "I came to again."
"It was a queer trembling."

At the _Observation Pavilion_ she was described as in a
state of "intense mental depression," taking no interest in
things going on about her. She spoke, however; said she

her poison, that every one was against her, and that people

temperature, which soon subsided, full breasts but without

Occasionally there was a tendency to close her eyes. With
the restlessness she looked at times "a little
apprehensive," or shrank away when approached. She spoke
slowly, with initial difficulty, but answered quite a
number of questions. The mental content of this period was
displayed in the following utterances: She would ask for a
priest, or say "Have I done so
